Thank you for your interest in the current vacancies at St. Mark’s Catholic School. St. Mark’s is recognised as being one of the top non-selective secondary schools in the country and in our recent Ofsted Inspection (September 2022) we achieved ‘outstanding’ in every category. Inspectors witnessed the 'Everyday Excellence' at St. Mark's, and they were complimentary about all aspects of our provision. Inspectors noted that:

“Pupils thrive at this school. Leaders are ambitious for all pupils and they are determined that all pupils will be given the opportunities they need to succeed. Behaviour in lessons and around the school is exemplary, and pupils show high levels of respect to each other, to staff and to visitors. The work of the school is held in high regard by others, and leaders share their practice with other schools in the trust and in the diocese.” (Ofsted)

The Catholic ethos is at the heart of all that we do in St Mark’s, and we were also judged to be outstanding in every category in the most recent Diocesan Inspection (December 2018). 

St. Mark’s enjoys an outstanding reputation for academic achievement based on a consistent record of excellent examination results.

The continuing success of St. Mark’s School is based on a positive partnership between parents, and they are overwhelming supportive of the school and appreciate the commitment of staff.
